Asking €160,000 for 135 m² (€1,185/m²) but described as "completamente da ristrutturare" — I estimate renovation ≈ €1,100/m², bringing effective cost to about €2,285/m². That is far above the regional baseline of ≈ €405/m² for similar stock, so this looks overpriced for the market.
More on the house and the area
Large, solid fifth-floor apartment with good light and a long balcony; floors, windows and radiators are in place so it’s a realistic home after renovation. Needs full cosmetic and functional overhaul (kitchen, bathrooms, walls) but the layout and size make it a practical, liveable project.
All the services redone, bathrooms, kitchen, windows. The structure is left alone.
Turnkey, facade and insulation included.
Our read of the photos, €1,100/m², falls in this band.
Materials only, work you may do yourself€53,000 – €79,000
Wiring, water and sanitary work of any kind, heating, air conditioning and gas go to a registered firm by law, and so do flues and the air openings for gas appliances. That labour stays in the bill. Yours is the stripping out, plaster, paint, floors, tiling and carpentry.
Labour is 61% of a renovation price on average and 67% at the median, across 191 items of the Emilia-Romagna 2025 public price list. Materials are the rest. An averaged price list, not a quote.
Materials you buy yourself carry 22% VAT; supplied by the firm doing the work they go at the 10% renovation rate. On a €30,000 materials bill that is €3,600 of extra tax.
Household wiring installed before 13 March 1990 counts as compliant if it has a main breaker with overcurrent protection, protection against direct contact and a 30 mA RCD. Having a firm bring the existing wiring up to that and certify it is the cheapest lawful route.
- Completely needs renovation — kitchen removed and bathrooms/finishes will need replacement
- Visible staining/damp on some walls (requires investigation)
- Fifth-floor apartment — elevator present but roof/terrace condition unknown
- Urban central location with no scenic views
Estimate from the listing and its photos, not a survey. Treat it as the starting point for your own quotes. An Italian builder's quote is normally written without VAT and without design fees, so add about a quarter to any figure a firm gives you.
